A petition to Council to abolish the
poll tax, and raise the necessary funds
for street purposes by property taxes,
has been generally circulated and sign
et ty few light tax payers, transient
citizens and few dudes. They assign
as q reason for their petition that In
cities the poll tax Is abolished, but &C
knowledge that soldiers and others that
are exempt are not benefited by it,tbus
virtually saying that we can endure
wrong as we'll as cities can. The petit
tion claims that the citizens of the viii
lsge should have privileges accorded to
them that are not granted to citizens OF
the country; but all know that roads
are necessary to rich and poor alike, In
villages or in the cOntry, as without
these public highways we could not
have social civilized society. Our poll
taxes are already high, and the greater
part of 1t is paid by those persons al
ready exemp. from poll tax, such as the
aged, soldiers, firemen, women and
guardians. Any able bodied person that
does not come under one Of those classes,
has never done much for his country,
and IL he refuses to pay trifiDg poll
tax he is, in our opinion, not worthy
the name of an American citizen. The
petitioners claim that persons who
work out their poll tax do not exert
themselves as those who work for direct
wages. We remember the grading of
Main street several years ago, at which
time the street commissioner had both
classes Of workers; but under the man.
agement then 1t was quite difficult to
determine which class did the most
work, and there Ia no reason for doubt
that under similar management the
same results would be obtained. The
fact that thirty one Of our citiz9ns failed
to perform their two dayslabOr last year
does not speak we'll for come one In Of
fee. and had better be kept secret. A
remonstrance will soon be circulated
and handed to the council, and II the
dudes do not raise serious objections 1t
may bs handed to the Herald for publ
cation.

The Condition OF = German Family Living
in Hiner alley.
The attention Of Charles Frazer
Superintendent of the Canton Humane
Society, was called to the wretehed con-
tltiOn Of O family named Krebs living
In Hlner alley.
Mr.. Frazer found a filthy cOnditio
Of things, the thought of which Is sim
Dly appalling In civilized community
KTebs and his family arrived about siz
weeks ago from Germany. Mrs. Krebs
has been married twice and has q boy
five years old By her first husband and
three small children by her present
spouse. The Relghb0rs Of the familN
who brought the mstter TO the attention
OF the Humane society, state that the
Eve year o d boy had not been washed
for six weeks, not since the family ar
rived In this country. They state that
1t was difficult TO tell whether the boy
was white or black. They took him tC
one Of their homes where he was wash
ID and dressed In clean suit OF clothes
When Mr.. Fruz9r arrived at the house
be found the family at dinner. They
we're seated at a bare table and wert
gnawing bones. They had no knives
forks or other table furniture, and tht
house was too filthy to describe. Mr
Frazer warned them that unless the
children were better cared for, KEEP
clean and humaRely treated, he would
have them arrested. They we're very
much surprised to learn that they could
be arrested for such an offsnse and
promised to d. better. From the neigh
O0rs 1t was learned that the wOmal
treats the children OF her present huS
Hand much better han she does the boy
Nc. Fraz IT says the society will give
hem a trial on probation, and If thel
do not take better care of the children
they will have them plt cad at the Chjl
lren's Home.
Krebs Is a laborer and has steady
work. The Humane Society is accom-
olishing noble work In this city. snC
should receive q more substantial rec
lgnitiOn.

ccIdentnlIy Shot.

While Messrs. L, j. Midday and Dsv
Johns were out hunting Monday YER,
painful ACCIDENT happened to MIR. Midday
which will probably result In the lOst
I one Of his eyea. While the two wer'
sanding about fifteen PAGES apart MIR.
Johns made q quick shot at moViaP
game, part of he shot taking
effect In Mr.. Midsy's head. About
seven or eight shot entered bis
head, one passing through bis eyebsll,
another through his upper lip and the
balance scattering over his head. They
came to the city Immediately after the
accident and summoned physicians.
The doctors think they may be able to
restore the eye TO partial sight, but are
not sure Of 1t. Mr.. Johns feels very
badly over the accident, and Mr.. Mday
takes 1t quite philosophicslly.

HULLIGAN's MURDERERs
B ought Back to the Scene Of .hs
" Tragedy.
How They We're TransEerr to the Por-
tage County JaiI Under q Heavy
Guard--In cldents Of the Night
Return OF the OficeFs.
Special to the DAILY DEMOCRAT.

RAVENNA, o., July 6.-Blinby Morgan
and his two pals. COughlin and Hsr-
rington, or Robertson as he is some
times Fnown, now lie behind the bars
In Portags county. Although 1t was at
tempted to keep 1t very quiet by the Of
icials, a couple hundred men, women
and boys were at the depot on the arrI-
val of the train last night at 5:52.
They were accompanied ty six detec-
tiVes, together with the sheriff and
his deputy. The prisoners were firmly
secured and one move out the way and
they would have been riddled with bull
let's. They we're hurriedly placed in
two cabs, which were In waiting, and
driven to the jail, the horses on dead
run. After arriving here they were
thoroughly secured and each placed In
separate cell on the ground floor of
the jail. Not visitor was allowed
within the walls Of the jail, and SO rigid
we're the commissioners instructions
to the sheriff that he was forbidden to
even let representatives Of the press see
the men. After the excitement had sub
sided last night your correspondent,
through the courtesy of Sheriff Sheldon,
was admitted and conversed with each
Of the prisoners. Blinky was very talka-
tive, but insisted he did not desire to see
the public In general and he re-
qnested the sheriff to send to
Rider Of Cleveland at once, and obtain
picture 81 that 1t might be shown the
anxious public when they called to see
him instead of permitting them to en-
ter. Little stock Is taken In the story
that Harrington, OF Robertson as he is
known In Pittsburg, can prove an alibi
and. as the officials say, 1t would take
some of the best citiz rs In Pittshurg
TO swear to 1t to have 1t believed, ss 1t is
common talk among Cleveland and
Ravenns officials that some Pit.sburg
officials have not washed their hands as
clean Of this affair as they might. Even
admitting that Harrington was In Pitts
burg at dance on the
night of the murderous affray the
affair did not taxa place
until In the morning. which would
have given them ample time to come to
Ravenna. Every precsution possible to
keep the prisoners safely has been
tasen. New screens have been put on
the jail and lamps lit the entire night
around the jail. Besides heavy guard
on the inside, q number of men have
been placed on the outside the jail day
and night and, and q rescue would be al
most an utter impossibility. Jack Glib.
bons, druggist, and an experiend officer,
has been engaged ss an inside guard, he
being koown as one of the most coUr-
agsous men In this section. The prison
ers rested we'll last night and seemed 10
enjoy their breakfast this morning. The
Cleveland officials left for home ttis
morning.

A Runaway Horse Runs into Train and
Boy Narrowly Escapes Death.
Last evening about four o'clock as the
east bound express came rolling In Mr..
Matt Bast's horse, hitched at his whole
sale beer agency on South Market street,
took fright and attempted to Cross the
railroad ahead Of the engine. Mr..
Bast's seven year old boy was seated In
the spring wagon to which the horse
was hitched at the time, but with re-
marksble pre-; ence Of mind for lad of
his years he leapod from the wagon
before 1t reached the railroad. The
horse succeeded In clearing the track
ahead Of the engine, but the wagon was
struck In about the middle and rlddled
to kindling. Had the boy remained In
the wagon he would certainly have been
killed. This 10 but one instance In
which the necessity Of gates is forclbly
demonstrated. Under law passed last
winter the councils OF cities can by or
dinsnce compel railroads to place gates
at all dangerous crossings. There are a
number Of very dangerous places In this
city which should not be neglected any
longer. Let US have the gates.
